Introduction Botany Has Become Fashionable
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Introduction Botany has become fashionable; in time it may become useful, if it be not so already.1 The stereotype of the forward, sexually precocious, female botanist made its first appearance in literature in the turbulent revolutionary climate of the 1790s, though women had, in fact, been avidly botanising earlier in the century. The emergence of this figure illustrates both the contemporary appeal, particularly to women, of the Linnaean Sexual System of botanical classification, and the anxieties surrounding female modesty it provoked. Thus, in the reactionary poem, The Unsex’d Females (1798), the Reverend Richard Polwhele warned that botanising girls, in scrutinising the sexual parts of the flower, were indulging in acts of wanton titillation. In the same year James Plumptre conceived a comic opera entitled The Lakers in which the heroine is a female botanist, ‗Miss Beccabunga Veronica of Diandria Hall‘.2 Veronica‘s precocious search for botanical specimens parallels her immodest search for a husband. With only Erasmus Darwin‘s provocative account of The Loves of the Plants (1789) to guide her, ‗she has been studying the system of plants, till she now wishes to know the system of man‘ (I.1. 2). Botany, we are reminded in the preface, ‗is by no means a proper amusement for the more polished sex‘ (xii). The botanising activities of Veronica‘s maid, Anna, suggest that the fashion for women‘s botany has, deplorably, even reached the servant classes. Anna has been learning something of Linnaean classification and she later confides to the aptly named Billy Sample that ‗all ladies who know anything study botamy [sic] now‘ (III.

THE HAWAII TROPICAL CUT FLOWER INDUSTRY CONFERENCE Growing Into the 90'S
JO US ISSN 0271-9916 December 1991 RESEARCH EXTENSION SERIES 124 THE HAWAII TROPICAL CUT FLOWER INDUSTRY CONFERENCE Growing into the 90's Hilo Hawaiian March 29th - March 31st, 1990 ITAHR · COLLEGE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE AND HUl\IAN RESOURCES · UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII THE HAWAII TROPICAL CUT FLOWER INDUSTRY CONFERENCE Growing into the 90's Hilo Hawaiian March 29th - March 31st, 1990 11 Sponsored By Cooperative Extension Service College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources University of Hawaii at Manoa Governor's Agriculture Coordinating Committee County of Hawaii With Cooperation From Big Island Dendrobium Growers Association Dendrobium Orchid Growers Association of Hawaii Hawaii Anthurium Industry Association Hawaii Protea Growers Association Hawaii Tropical Flowers and Foliage Association, Hawaii Hawaii Tropical Flowers and Foliage Association, Oahu West Hawaii Orchid Growers Association PREFACE On March 29-31, 1990, the Hawaii Tropical Cut Flower Industry Conference was held in Hilo, Hawaii. This conference was the first in recent memory to include all of the major tropical flowers produced and exported on a commercial basis in Hawaii: anthuriums, orchids, protea, and tropicals such as gingers and heliconias. Although each of these major floral groups has its own unique production problems, they face common marketing problems. Thus, marketing of Hawaii flowers was chosen as the unifying focus of the conference. The conference planners and participants believe that through improved and innovative marketing the industry will be able to realize the conference theme, "Growing into the 90's." In addition to marketing issues such as transportation, handling, and market strategies and trends, production problems were also addressed. Concurrent sessions were held so that each floral group could concentrate on the production problems mostrelevant to them.
